Swift 1 SF114-32-P30S

I want to upgrade the storage of my laptop. I followed instructions in Youtube about opening the back cover but their's seems to be of different layout that mine. In the tutorials they also used an M.2 SSD with the two notch or cuts/spacing through the pins that separates them in three groups.The SSD slot in mine looks like there's only one divider that separates a group of 29 pins to the left, and 4 pins to the right (please see attached pictures).I wish to be enlightened as to what SSD should i buy for this model. I'm a little bit newbee on tinkering laptops. I only relied on watching Youtube instructions and lots of courage to do it. Thank you for any assistance.

Thanks to IVAN_PC, although he suggested 256GB, I decided to purchase a WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2 2280, 1TB. It is detected instantly by Swift 1.

Note: Fastened it up by tape, because i don't have screw for it.

I also followed Jack22's post in the migration of windows from the original drive. It worked and booted but some of my programs didn't work. And i encountered some crash with blue screen. So, with the help of youtube tutorials, i purchased windows 10 and did a fresh installation.

I have the same laptop and was thinking of adding a 1tb drive also. I'm just wondering if the 256 recommendation was because of heat. Would a 1tb be much hotter than a 256. The Western Digital Blue are noted to run a little cooler.
